Just working out who needs axing for next season, anybody know whose contracts are expiring this summer..if any?
Barnes?
Navarro?
Think Brez has 1 more year and East signed an extension recently if my memory serves.Vicente
all the gks (anks, brez, poke, gonzalez, walker and east)
Navarro definitely.Barnes?
Navarro?
Not sure about Barnes, I thought he was til the end of the season. Extension must have passed me by.I thought Barnes was out of contract but he got an extension last summer until 2013.
GK
Brezovan, Ankergren, Poke, Gonzalez, Walker & East
Def
Mattock, Reyes, Painter
Mid
Vicente, Razak, Assulin, Navarro
ST
Barnes, Vokes, Bergkamp, Barker
Only probables for me are Brez, Nav's and Barnes
I think we will offer to Mattock and Vicente but much will depend on the deal and any other interest they are getting
Not sure about Painter or Vokes
We'll need 3 keepers, Brez will be number 2 and Poke likely off, so East to stay?
I'm sure East extended his contract a while back anyway, he tweeted something about it. There seems to be some confusion over Barnes - I googled but couldn't find anything, do we know if he's up this season or next? He's surely a shoe-in to be offered a contract, Gus loves him. Not sure about Painter. Suspect he'll get another year as backup - he's proved himself perfectly capable at this level but not exceptional, as his lack of pace becomes more apparent.
There's been lots of talks about Barnes but I don't think he ever signed an extension or if one was officially offered. I think he is up in June and I'd expect Gus to offer him 2 or 3 years
